On the whole “gender assignment at birth” thing….

So, if we are all simply allotted a gender identity when we’re born, based on our genitals…

That means, essentially, that the doctors are taking a guess…

Which means that sometimes they guess correctly! …

Because a lot of us do grow up to identify as male and female without any confusion in our heads…

(even though many of us don’t conform to all the gender expectations….
I mean, I was “assigned female” when I was born, but I didn’t, and don’t, completely conform to stereotypes and yet I still identify as female…)

So, are doctors really these manipulative, agenda-driven, cis-white-hetero-male figures they’re being portrayed as, chaining innocent babes to identities of “society’s” choosing?

(Because, let’s not forget, doctors are not all male, nor all white, nor all heterosexuals, nor all American, nor all Christian, nor all conservative..)

Or are they just going on the outward clues that Mother Nature (to use a gendered stereotype) has given them?

So does that really fit the definition of “assigning” or “bestowing” or “forcing”…???? Or is it more like taking an educated guess?
